Title: 85 Instead Of MP3
Post by: Darius1968 on April 07, 2025, 09:05:17 AM

For said AVI video file which contains an MP3 audio track, {File.MD.RIFF::AudioFormat\0\Encoding\0} is producing as output "85" instead of the expected "MP3".  Why is this?

The output comes from ExifTool, not from IMatch. I suggest you ask the question in the ExifTool user forum, providing your AVI video as an example.

Very interesting!  How is it then that in IMatch's Metadata>Browser, the output for that vary same tag is "MP3"?

Make sure you understand the difference between raw and formatted values when you use variables to access metadata values. Metadata Variables: Formatted and Raw (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/index.html#var_basics.htm?dl=hid-43)

Using the formatted value worked - Thanks!
